It has been shown by the author1 and his colleagues, Hottenstein, Gilliland and Tucker that a positive relationship exists between one's success in first year Algebra and his ability to eliminate errors in the simple fundamental processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It has also been shown by the same group2 that these errors persist in the more complex processes of Algebra attempted during the first year.

Positive relationsbip bas been shown between the elimination of errors in the processes of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of monomials and the ability to solve the more complex problems in first year Algebra.1 The relationship between silent reading ability and ability in first year Algebra has been demonstrated to be low but positive.2 A careful interpretation of these studies leads one to conclude that other factors are present to help or hinder the learning process in beginning Algebra.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between religious orientation, emotion regulation, and resilience of first-year theological students. The total sample used in this study was 59 first-year theological students at a theological college in Indonesia. The results show a statistically significant positive relationship between religious orientation, emotion regulation, and resilience. The results also show that the effective contribution of emotion regulation is higher than the religious orientation towards resilience. These results indicate the importance of emotional regulation training and religious orientation education to develop resilience in the lives of first-year theological students.

Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan skala yang terdiri dari skala perilaku asertif dan skala penyesuaian diri. Berdasarkan uji korelasi product moment Pearson diperoleh nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,000 dengan r = 0,627 yang berarti ada hubungan positif antara perilaku asertif dengan penyesuaian diri. Berdasarkan hasil, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada hubungan yang positif antara perilaku asertif dengan penyesuaian diri, sehingga semakin tinggi perilaku asertif maka semakin tinggi pula penyesuaian diri pada siswa tahun pertama di SMP Negeri 1 Banjarmasin.Kata kunci: Perilaku Asertif, Penyesuaian Diri The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship between assertive behavior and self-adjustment in the first year students at SMP Negeri 1 Banjarmasin.

Data were collected using assertive behavior scale and self-adjustment scale. The results of the Pearson's product moment correlation test showed that the significance value was 0.000 with r = 0.627, indicating that there was a positive relationship between assertive behavior and self-adjustment. It can therefore be concluded that there was a positive relationship between assertive behavior and self-adjustment; therefore, the higher the assertive behavior, the higher the self-adjustment in the first year students at SMP Negeri 1 Banjarmasin.Keywords: Assertive Behavior, Self-Adjustment

This study examines the relationship between emotional competence and student engagement of the first year undergraduate students in Kerala. Research into both student engagement and student emotional competence is on the increase, with widespread agreement that both are critical determinants of student success in higher education. Less researched are the complex, reciprocal relationships between these important influences. The study was conducted among 600 hundred first year undergraduate students from 12 colleges of the four districts of Kerala. The results demonstrate that there is a significant and positive relationship with the variables of the study. The study throws up conclusively that higher the emotional competence better will be the student engagement.

Grit, creative self-efficacy and entrepreneurial self-efficacy have been associated with the development of entrepreneurial behaviours that can prepare students for a rapidly changing world of work. The main purpose of this study is to analyse the relationship between the three variables amongst first-year university students. A positive relationship, albeit modest, was found between grit and the two measures of self-efficacy. Furthermore, findings suggest that grit can be considered a predictor variable for student self-efficacy beliefs in the context of entrepreneurship. However, this relationship was found to be weak and not to offer significant opportunities for the improvement of student creative and entrepreneurial self-perception, beyond those already contemplated in social cognitive theory. Moreover, results revealed a significant and robust positive relationship between creative and entrepreneurial self-perceptions in university students. The strong relationship found between creative and entrepreneurial self-efficacy renders an opportunity to develop informed interventions directed towards improving student entrepreneurial self-perceptions. In this regard, the results suggest the importance of cultivating creativity in educational institutions.

These problems affected knowledge, attitude, and skill of the PAI results, which are still not optimum. This research used descriptive method. Data collection obtained: first, Al Qur’an reading ability was carried out by conducting Al Qur’an reading test; second, data of the PAI learning interest of the students was done by delivering questionnaire; and third, data of the PAI results was taken from the school final examination, academic year of 2016/2017. Research concluded that, first, students with good ability of reading Al Qur’an tend to achieve high result of the PAI lesson; second, learning interest of the students is significantly related with the student’s achievement on the PAI lesson; third, there is a positive relationship between the variables in this research, simultaneously, namely the Al Qur’an reading ability and learning interest, with the student’s achievement of the PAI lesson.Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kemampuan membaca Al Qur’an, dan minat belajar siswa dengan hasil belajar Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI). Masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah bahwa pelaksanaan PAI di Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA/SMK) belum terlaksana secara optimal, karena secara umum jumlah jam pelajaran agama di sekolah rata-rata dua jam per minggu, latar belakang pemahaman dan kehidupan beragama (Islam) berbeda-beda, ditambah pemahaman bahwa pelajaran PAI tidak berimplikasi secara langsung terhadap skill yang dibutuhkan pada dunia kerja. Masalah tersebut berdampak pada pada pengetahuan, sikap, dan keterampilan hasil PAI yang belum optimal. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan, yaitu; pertama data kemampuan membaca Al Qur’an diambil dengan tes kemampuan membaca Al Qur’an, kedua, data minat belajar PAI siswa diambil dengan koesioner, dan ketiga, data hasil belajar PAI siswa diambil dari hasil ujian akhir sekolah pada tahun pelajaran 2016/2017. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah pertama, siswa yang mempunyai kemampuan membaca Al Qur’an dengan baik, mempunyai kecenderungan memperoleh hasil belajar PAI yang tinggi, kedua, minat belajar siswa pada PAI berhubungan secara signifikan terhadap prestasi belajar siswa pada PAI, ketiga, ada hubungan positif antara variabel yang ada dalam penelitian ini secara bersama-sama, yaitu kemampuan membaca Al Qur’an dan minat belajar dengan hasil belajar PAI siswa.

Humans are social animals; consequently, a lack of social ties affects individuals’ health negatively. However, the desire to belong differs between individuals, raising the question of whether individual differences in the need to belong moderate the impact of perceived social isolation on health. In the present study, 77 first-year university students rated their loneliness and health every 6 weeks for 18 weeks. Individual differences in the need to belong were found to moderate the relationship between loneliness and current health state. Specifically, lonely students with a high need to belong reported more days of illness than those with a low need to belong. In contrast, the strength of the need to belong had no effect on students who did not feel lonely. Thus, people who have a strong need to belong appear to suffer from loneliness and become ill more often, whereas people with a weak need to belong appear to stand loneliness better and are comparatively healthy. The study implies that social isolation does not impact all individuals identically; instead, the fit between the social situation and an individual’s need appears to be crucial for an individual’s functioning.
